A Button Challenge
In this challenge, we attempt to minimize the number of times that you must press the A button. The counting starts as the level begins, and ends when the star is obtained. In a single press there is no limit to how long you may hold down the button, and the count is increased when the button is pressed, not released.
This listing contains both tool-assisted scores (i.e., save states and slowdown allowed) and regular scores done in "real time". This page was originally automatically generated and anyone could add in their own scores, but it was converted into a static archive in 2019.
